At least for me the reasons are

  1. Lack of interest
  2. They're ridiculously Ugly
  3. Range (I’ve driven 1500 miles in the last 3 weeks)
  4. Driving Experience is worse (opinion, but still something I stand by)
  5. Charging
  6. Price

When I was looking at new cars an EV wasn’t even an option. I wanted a 2 door performance coupe and there isn’t anything even close to that in EVs, let alone on the used market. A 2014 Audi was a better choice in almost every metric beyond gas prices.

Americans probably don't want to buy those Chinese EVs that poorly made and dangerous
